yeah sure - I was a bit troll-ish in the language. Let me elaborate. Imba is a spin-off of javascript intended for front-end use whose syntax is a mix of coffeescript, jsx and python as well Ruby imho; that said, please name a single use case in which Ruby will be without a doubt the #1 language for performance, scalability and all the other aspects involved in maintaining a business (including availability of programmers). Ruby is only second to PHP, which is just unreedemable (I'm even certified on it... http://www.zend.com/en/yellow-pages/ZEND005898 http://www.zend.com/en/yellow-pages/ZEND005898 so don't think I'd refrain from criticizing languages I know, even very well).
